'''Edward Hodges Baily''' (10 March 1788 – 22 May 1867; sometimes misspelled '''Bailey''') was a prolific British sculptor responsible for numerous public monuments, portrait busts, statues and exhibition pieces as well as works in silver. He carved friezes for both the [[Marble Arch]] and [[Buckingham Palace]] in London. His numerous statues of public figures include that of [[Horatio Nelson]] on top of [[Nelson's Column]] and [[Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey]] on [[Grey's Monument]] in Newcastle upon Tyne. Throughout his career Baily was responsible for creating a number of monuments and memorials for British churches and cathedrals, including several in [[St Paul's Cathedral]].

==Biography==
Baily was born on 10 March 1788, at [[Downend, South Gloucestershire|Downend]] in Gloucestershire, to Martha Hodges (1755–1836) and William Hillier Baily (1763–1834), a woodcutter who specialised in carving ship's [[figurehead]]s.<ref name="KEustice">{{cite ODNB |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/1076 |title=Baily, Edward Hodges |author= Katharine Eustice |date= 8 April 2021 |doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/1076 |access-date= 14 July 2022}}</ref> At the age of fourteen he was placed as an accounts clerk in a mercantile house, where he worked for two years, though he continued to produce wax models and busts, his childhood hobby.<ref>{{cite book |author=[[Rupert Gunnis]]|title= [[Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660–1851]]|publisher= The Abbey Library}}</ref> In 1804, aged sixteen, he abandoned his job and set himself up as a professional wax portraitist.<ref name="Mackay">{{cite book|author=James Mackay|publisher=Antique Collectors' Club|year=1977|title=The Dictionary of Western Sculptors in Bronze |isbn= 0902028553}}</ref> Two [[Homer]]ic studies, executed for a friend, were shown to the sculptor [[John Flaxman]] who was so impressed, that in 1807, he accepted Baily as a pupil in his London studio and subsequently employed him as an assistant.<ref name="KEustice"/> In 1808, Baily won the silver medal of the Society of Arts for a plaster figure of [[Laocoön]] and the next year entered the [[Royal Academy Schools]].<ref name="Mackay"/><ref name="EB1911">{{cite EB1911|wstitle=Baily, Edward Hodges|volume=3|page=221}}</ref> At the academy he won a silver medal in 1809 and in 1811 he gained their gold medal for a model of ''[[Hercules]] restoring [[Alcestis]] to [[Admetus]]'', and soon after exhibited ''[[Apollo]] discharging his Arrows against the Greeks'' and ''Hercules casting [[Lichas]] into the Sea''.<ref name="Mackay"/><ref name="EB1911"/>

From 1816 to 1846, Baily was the Chief Modeller for [[Rundell and Bridge|Rundell, Bridge and Rundell]], goldsmiths to the royal family, where he was responsible for creating the [[Doncaster Cup]] trophy in 1843 and the [[Ascot Gold Cup]] in 1844.<ref name="Mackay"/> Baily also produced designs for the silversmith [[Paul Storr]].<ref name="KEustice"/> For a soup tureen commission in 1821, Baily designed a pair of ornamental handles which became the basis of his large scale marble sculpture ''Eve at the Fountain'', which was acquired by the Bristol Literary Institute and is now in the [[Bristol Museum & Art Gallery]].<ref name="Mackay"/> Widely reproduced at reduced sizes in both [[Parian ware]] and bronze, the work was among the most popular individual sculptures in Britain at the time.<ref name="KEustice"/> Baily returned to Eve as a subject in 1842 with the work ''Eve listening to the Voice''.<ref name="Eve">{{cite web|url=https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O75445/eve-listening-to-the-voice-statue-baily-edward-hodges/|title=Eve listening to the Voice|website=Victoria & Albert Museum|access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref> Baily was elected an Associate member of the Royal Academy in 1817 and, on the strength of ''Eve at the Fountain'', a full Academician in 1821.<ref name="EB1911"/><ref name="Eve"/>

From the 1820s until 1858, Baily had a series of high-profile public commissions and was also responsible for numerous portrait busts, statues and exhibition pieces.<ref name="ERadford">{{cite DNB |author=Ernest Radford
|wstitle=Baily, Edward Hodges |volume=2 |page=427}}</ref> He carved the bas-reliefs on the facade of the Masonic Hall on [[Park Street, Bristol|Park Street]] in Bristol and those on the south side of the [[Marble Arch]] in [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]] in 1826.<ref name="Mackay"/> When changes were made to the size and design of the Marble Arch, a number of friezes that Baily had carved were considered surplus to requirements but were installed on the facade of [[Buckingham Palace]].<ref name= "MArch">{{NHLE |num=1239534 |desc=The Marble Arch |access-date=20 June 2022}}</ref> He also designed the models of the stone figures installed on the pediment of Buckingham Palace when the building was enlarged and carved the frieze ''Britannia Rewarding Arts and Sciences'' for the Palace's throne room.<ref name="KEustice"/> He created the prominent statue of [[Horatio Nelson]] for the top of [[Nelson's Column]], in [[Trafalgar Square]].<ref name="EB1911"/> For the facade of the [[National Gallery]] facing onto Trafalgar Square he created a series of statues and friezes.<ref name="Mackay"/>

Baily exhibited at the Royal Academy regularly from 1810 to 1862 and at the [[British Institution]] from 1812 to 1840.<ref name="Mackay"/> His exhibition pieces often represented aspects of family life with titles such as ''Maternal Affection'' and ''Mother and Child''.<ref name="ERadford"/> For Saint Stephen's Hall in the [[Palace of Westminster]] he created statues of [[Charles James Fox]] and [[Lord Mansfield]].<ref name="ERadford"/> Subjects of his portrait busts included the [[Duke of Wellington]], his mentor John Flaxman and [[Lord Byron]].<ref name="ERadford"/> Several of his designs for monuments were cast as small scales bronzes for the domestic retail market, notably his equestrian statue of [[George IV]].<ref name="Mackay"/>

Financial insecurity was a recurring theme in Baily's life. He was first declared bankrupt in 1831, and again in 1838. On the first occasion questions were asked in Parliament on his behalf because his financial distress had resulted from delays in receiving payment for sculptures at [[Buckingham Palace]].<ref name="KEustice"/> Fortunately his appeals to the Royal Academy for financial assistance, were successful in the 1830s, as again in the 1860s, when they provided him with a pension of £200 a year as an honorary retired Academician.<ref name="KEustice"/> Baily's election as a fellow of the [[Royal Society]] (FRS) came in 1842. Among his final works was the design for the Turner medal in 1857, the Royal Academy's award for landscape painting.<ref name="KEustice"/>

Baily married Elizabeth Wardley (1786–1836) in Bristol during 1806 and the couple had four children.<ref name="KEustice"/> Their daughter, Caroline, married [[Edgar George Papworth Senior]] one of Baily's assistants.<ref name="KEustice"/> Among his other assistants and pupils were [[John Henry Foley]], [[Musgrave Watson]], [[Joseph Durham]], [[Edward Bowring Stephens]] and [[William Theed]].<ref name="KEustice"/><ref name="JoDarke">{{cite book|author=Jo Darke|publisher=Macdonald Illustrated|year=1991|title= The Monument Guide to England and Wales |isbn=0-356-17609-6}}</ref> Baily's nephew was [[William Hellier Baily]], the paleontologist.  
 
Baily died at 99 Devonshire Road in [[Holloway, London]], on 22 May 1867, aged 79, and is buried on the western side of [[Highgate Cemetery]].<ref>{{cite book |author=Frederick Teague Cansick |title=The Monumental Inscriptions of Middlesex Vol 2 |date=1872 |publisher=J Russell Smith |page=128 |url=https://archive.org/details/acollectioncuri03cansgoog/page/n38/mode/2up |access-date=9 April 2021}}</ref>
